Dr. Pamela Pappas answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Many: I'm thinking you mean serotonin reuptake inhibitors? Generally, physicians who want to help people suffering from depression and various anxiety disorders prescribe these medications. Some are psychiatrists, but the greatest percentage is prescribed by family physicians and other primary care specialists.
